September something something.Sadly this chip is only good for recording and not for playback.I've definitely long lost track of time, traveling with Captain from one part of the city to another.It's probably not even September, but most likely October. Anyway it doesn't really matter, because it's always cold thanks to nuclear winter and it's always either snowing or "ashening" with rare instances of sunlight breaking through the thick, gloomy, black clouds overhead.I've made many mistakes in my past, and I don't have much to look forward in the future, but yet I keep living for some reason, even if that reason is captain's continuous entertainment.

Everyday before I fall asleep I think of what horrible things the captain will do tomorrow. This week the bastard kept dressing me up in ridiculous outfits and giving me new "personalities to play". Where does one find the time to dig up costumes? Yesterday I woke up all dressed up like an old lady and Captain addressed me as "Aunt Snippey". Then there was "Clown Snippy", "Superhero Snippy" and "Zombie snippy". "Zombie snippy" consisted of simply throwing dirt on me and running away screaming "THE ZOMBIES ARE RISING! HE HAS TURNED! DEFEND YOURSELVES!" and usually ends up with me getting hit on the head with a blunt object at the end of the day. I've learned to wrap a scarf on my head under the hood of the jacket so it doesn't hurt as much.The worst is probably "Fireman Snippy" where I wake up to screams "LA LA LA LA LA. ALL FIREMEN REPORT TO STATIONS! THERE'S A FIRE ON 12TH AND BROADWAY!". This one time captain even lit my shoe on fire to "SIMULATE THE URGENCY OF THE SITUATION".However this apparently wasn't realistic/stressful/urgent enough, so on the next day captain actually somehow lit an entire skyscraper on fire and tried to shove me inside screaming "SAVE THE CHILDREN! WHY WON'T ANYONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!". Thank god my G Directorate issue Officer uniform is fireproof.It's like my sanity and humility are being tested. If I could I would totally strangle... no that would be far too easy and then I would be completely alone, or even worse.. left to babysit Pilot. Does the director of this madness ever sleep? I would try to pay attention, but I've been too busy trying to survive to notice. Everyday I find less and less food and most of the canned stuff is horribly expired, so every can is a guess and gamble where winning is not throwing up. I tried to catch Captain off guard, but no, apparently that's impossible. Before I close my eyes the captain's tall form hovers over me, and whenever I open them in the morning it is still there in the same spot, hovering, standing guard over me, looming. Is it possible to sleep standing up? The looming gets quite spooky at times, really, even though I should have gotten used to it by now. Sometimes I suspects that captain does sleep horizontally, but leaves a "dummy" form to stand over me for purposes of confusing and irritating me.Or how about this? To wake me up, every god damn time captain tries to use a different loud noise. There was the "screaming random nonsense" day, "air-horn" day, "broken piano", "banjo", "VUVUZELA day", "garbage bins", "singing badly" and "saxophone". Okay I admit the saxophone wasn't terrible, captain gave me a pleasant surprise there by playing an actual tune. Our last batteries were wasted playing "NYAN CAT" on a micro-player, over and over and over in an endless loop. After only a weeks of this nonsense, I had to "eliminate" the micro-player in an "unfortunate accident". One time I woke up from terrible vibrations. I'm pretty sure Pilot helped with this one- they stuffed my sleeping body into a shopping cart to recreate a scene from "Jackass" poster that they've found somewhere.It sucks being the only person left alive with common sense. At least I don't have to clean up after them - they can break all the things they want and trash whatever they want. We have to keep constantly moving anyway, to find new sources of food and uncontaminated water.Breaking things is probably captain and pilot's favorite hobby. Once they started a war against "EVERY TRAFFIC LIGHT IN EXISTENCE" there was no stopping them. Captain even made me write a "treaty", that was personally narrated out-loud and then had me deliver the said treaty to the "enemy", the enemy being as you might have already guessed... a bloody traffic light. Why am I doing these things for captain, you ask? Mostly because if I don't obey "Captain's orders", Pilot will take away my rifle by force, or snatch er' while I sleep, and I don't enjoy being without my rifle since the mutated wild-life is never friendly.Pilot can't aim as well as me, I'll tell you that much. Also, there are vague threats of "microwaving" all my possessions if I disobey, although I am entirely not sure where Pilot expects to find a fully functional microwave.It probably means breaking all my stuff and dancing on it, or possibly starting a series of small fires. Sometimes, I hear Pilot mumbling under his breath about dislocating me because captain trusts me too much and that I am "not worthy of dancing in the grand master's divine shadow".

The Pilot we'd seen thus far came across as childlike, playful and ultimately harmless. From this he's beginning to seem like more of a jealous and vengeful, if still insane, psychopath. He's like a religious extremist whose religion is the worship of an avatar of madness. It's a little frightening.

Snippy. This is perfectly natural. As an apocalyptic survivor (i'm gonna make something about it. taking my time) You are entitled to meet anyone with enough insanity to destroy the world. And although you can't use this situation to your advantage (Captain is too unpredictable), play along with the Captain to see if he cuts slack on you. Pretend, not really do something. Don't burn down the whole building. If the Captain does that, then jump in the building before it crashes and go out through the other side, grab a rock and say I rescued a baby rock from the building.

*shiver* Pilot is actually really scary. All this talk of "dislocating" and making things eat him, and taking away his rifle. By force. That, plus Captain's exploits, equals I feel sorry for Snippy. And I'm still giggling over the fact that his name is Charles.

Not trying to be a nerd but ... if we consider Life as the Captain and me or you or any other person as Snippy , then we Could say that Life is a Wild chaotic happy and unstable thing , always making things happen that makes our Life Hard for us .But if you think that Snippy has Only the Captain to lighten his Day ... without the Captain He would be as lonely and Dead as the City that lays before him ! So just smile , life is wonderful with its ways , always cheering and playful , just my thoughts though

Well of course he canīt be OOC, you wrote it. But in the comics so far he seemed a bit oblivious, playful, sweet. I was surprised to see him turn into Captainīs henchman, going so far as to turn upon Snippy himself without command. I sure hope he doesnīt kick Snips from the team.

I guess Pilotīs dark side contrasts with his light side a bit more than the others. His journal also hit me the hardest. But I should have known the (to me) funniest character would also make me feel sorry for him the most when more info came to light.But this only makes me more interested... keep up the divine work!
